Patent number: 9816057Abstract: A nonflammable solvent composition, a method of cleaning a surface, and a method of coating a substrate with a material using the solvent composition are provided. The nonflammable solvent composition includes about 70 wt. % or more of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE) and about 0.1 to about 30 wt. % of one or more of hydrofluoroether (HFE) and n-propyl bromide. The method of cleaning a surface includes applying the solvent composition to the surface and spreading or rubbing the composition on the surface. The method of coating a substrate with a material includes dissolving one or more material in the solvent composition, applying the solvent composition containing the one or more material to a substrate, and evaporating the solvent composition from the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: EDO SHELLEFInventor: Edo Shellef

Patent number: 9816058Abstract: In one aspect, 3D printing systems for fabricating 3D soap objects are described herein. Such systems can form 3D soap objects from a particulate material and a fluid binder material based on design data, such as digital design data. In some cases, a 3D printing system comprises a build chamber comprising a build bed, a particulate material distribution device, and a fluid binder material dispenser. The particulate material distribution device can be configured to distribute successive layers of the particulate material on the build bed. The fluid binder material dispenser can be configured to selectively apply the fluid binder material to portions of the successive layers of particulate material in an amount sufficient to consolidate the portions to define cross-sectional portions of the object. In addition, the particulate material comprises a soap component in an amount of about 10 to 100% by weight.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: 3D Systems, Inc.Inventor: Roxanne Rives
